Two chiropractors, including a Chester Township resident, admitted in writing to a judge Wednesday that they illegally referred to an attorney their patients who were injured in accidents in exchange for kickbacks of $500 per referral.

Christopher John Montana of Chester Township and Fernando Barrese of Washington Township in Bergen County, both 40, pleaded guilty before state Superior Court Judge Thomas V. Manahan in Morristown to two counts each of criminal use of runners and one count each of filing false tax returns.
